I'm a critically acclaimed and award winning hybrid author for readers of all ages--both the young in years and the young at heart. My work has received starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly, appeared on Booklist's Best First Novels for Youth, PW Picks, School Library Journal's What's Hot in YA, and B&N's 2016 YA Books with Irresistible Concepts and Most Anticipated May 2016 YA Books.
My YA work has also won a Silver Medal in ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year and a Gold Medal in the IPPY Awards. My MG work is critically acclaimed as well, having made the master lists for several state readers' awards, including this year's Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Award and Missouri's Mark Twain Readers Award, and has been chosen for inclusion in the Scholastic Book Fair.
